AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system provides reliable and controlled drug delivery by monitoring battery health, preventing patient harm through accurate injection procedures and extending the life of medical devices by allowing universal battery packs and timely battery replacement.

Problems solved by technology

The volume injected is typically not controlled in an accurate manner due to parallax error during reading the vernier on the syringe.
Fluid flow rates are uncontrolled.
Tissue damage may occur due to an “unsteady” injection.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Reference is now made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0026]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a charging base according to an embodiment of the present invention. Charging base 100 includes two holders 105, 110 disposed on its top surface 115. These holders 105, 110 are each designed to receive a battery pack or limited reuse assembly (not shown). The battery packs or limited reuse assemblies (not shown) rest in holders 105, 110. Holders 105, 110 are designed to locate the battery packs on the top surface 115 of charging base 100 to enable an electrical and data connection between the battery packs or limited reuse assemblies (not shown) and the charging base 100. Holders 105, 110 are also designed to locate the battery packs (not shown) on top surface 115 so that charging can ta...

Abstract

A safety charging system for a battery-operated medical device includes a power source, a clock for providing a current date, and a charging base. A first connection arrangement is coupled to the power source, and facilitates an electrical and data connection with the charging base. The charging base charges the power source. The charging base has charge circuitry and a second connection arrangement for facilitating an electrical and data connection between the power source and the charging base. Control logic implements maintenance and charging of the power source.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 498,400 filed Aug. 3, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a medical device and more particularly to monitoring and maintaining a battery in a battery operated medical device.[0003]Several diseases and conditions of the posterior segment of the eye threaten vision. Age related macular degeneration (ARMD), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), retinopathies (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, vitreoretinopathy), retinitis (e.g., cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis), uveitis, macular edema, glaucoma, and neuropathies are several examples.[0004]These, and other diseases, can be treated by injecting a drug into the eye. Such injections are typically manually made using a conventional syringe and needle. In using such a syringe, the surgeon is required to pierce the eye tissue with the needle, hold the syringe steady, and actuate the syringe plunger (with or wi...
